I NEVER SAW YOUR WINGS

How is it that I never saw your wings

when you were here with me?

When you closed your eyes

and soared to the Heavens

I could hear the faint flutter

of your wings as you left.

Your body no longer on this side

your spirit here eternally,

I see your halo shine.

I close my eyes and see

the multicolored wings surround me

in my saddest moments and my happiest times.

Mother, my angel, God has given you

your assignment always my mother

forever my angel.

You fly into my dream when I am asleep

I feel your wings brush against my face

wiping away the tears I shed

since I can no longer hold you

in my arms but in my heart.

You earned those wings dear mother

and you will always be my angel eternal.

Michele

When we freely forgive others who have hurt us,

our angel brings us a special blessing of love from God.
